Fun with Republicans

I needed to take a break from politics for a while (not that I did, not really) and step back – start reading “real” books again – and in whatever manner get a little perspective again. Also, I was curious to see what would happen this go around, and possibly just let myself be entertained by the absurdity of it all. Thus far, only three weeks post-election, the Republicans have not disappointed. Kevin Drum has a good summation of recent congressional hijinks here.

For Bush’s part, the antics haven’t been quite so free-spirited. Mostly so far we’ve seen Colin depart to make room for Condi (a switch that most are eying with a great deal of skepticism), and Rummy not making any moves to leave. Ann Coulter, of course, suggests that liberals who talk about their misgivings with Condi are just “typical racist, anti-feminist liberals”. While she’s just doing her “shocking” thing, I wonder how this accounts for liberals (and not-so-liberals) who have even graver problems with Rummy staying on as Defense Secretary. I guess not only do we have problems with black women, we’re apparently not so keen on white men either. Time to bring in the Asian eunuchs…
